"With images that suggest a modern day Caspar David Friedrich, sculptor, installation artist and photographer Olafur Eliasson recreates in elegant forms the extremes of the landscape and the atmospheric conditions of his native Denmark, resulting in a kind of techno-Romanticism. Now based in Berlin, Eliasson rebuilds in the gallery fragments of a faraway land: icebergs at the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, 'windmills' at the Louisiana Museum in Humlebaek, Denmark. For Eliasson, immaterial sensations such as temperature, smell, taste, air and magnetic waves become sculptural elements. A simple circular cut in the ceiling of a gallery in Los Angeles, for example, recreates the feeling of the weak Scandinavian sun, and becomes a kind of giant sun-clock reminiscent of both Gordon Matta-Clark's architectural cut-outs and the oculus of the Pantheon." "In her survey, curator Madeleine Grynsztejn examines the unique position of the artist, overlapping technological and artistic innovation in the creation of his art. Critic and curator Daniel Birnbaum discusses with the artist the role of location and the immediate environment in both his gallery (indoor) and remote-site (outdoor) work. Architectural theorist Michael Speaks looks in his Focus at the work Green river (1998) particularly in relation to filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni's 1964 film, Red Desert. The artist has selected an extract from Henri Bergson's Creative Evolution (1907) dealing with our subjective, visual response to nature, a theme central also in the artist's own work. Olafur Eliasson's writings include an essay on that most banal of topics, the weather, and an open letter entitled 'Dear Everybody' addressed to the viewers."--Jacket

"Olafur Eliasson has established an international reputation for works that suggest evocations of nature - from fog-filled rooms to rainbows - which, combined with modern technology, produce situations of sublime beauty. His practice explores human perception and subjectivity, and the boundaries between nature and culture. In this book, Eliasson takes the ubiquitous subject of the weather as a point of departure, examining ideas of representation, mediation and the temporal qualities of space, a process that culminates in his extraordinary installation in Tate Modern."--BOOK JACKET

Renseignements provenant du libraire parisien Christophe Daviet-Thery: "A wanted ad brought 35 photographs to artist Olafur Eliasson. Using these photographs, he formed the series "Cars in rivers" in 2009. By orchestrating the photos sent to him by jeep driving adventurers, Olafur Eliasson pays homage to a cultural activity born out of a direct smuggle with nature, since motorized exploration of the Icelandic highlands is only a recent experience. The book is also an homage to the "unknwon explorer" and his extensive terrain, sublime nature. At the same time the series can, in a symbolic way, describe the economic crisis the Icelandic nation has been enduring. The metaphor of a half sunk jeep stranded in the middle of a raging river is unmistakable."
